@-The fact that the brisk foreign demand
for American breadstuffs has exhausted the sur
plus of last years crop and compelled US to draw
on the surplus carried over from former years
(says the Philadelphia Tines,) causes not little
anxiety as to the crop prospect for the present
year. The report of the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington in regard to the condition of
winter wheat at the present time is not exactly
rose-colored. The prospect might easily be much
worse, but if it were a good deal better bothsi
wheat producers and the public would be ess,r
satisfied. At the worst, however, there will b,
more wheat than will be required for homecon-
sumption, and as the season has been good one
for getting in large spring wheat crop it is quite
possible that the latter will make up all probable
deficiencies in the crop of winter-wheat. Another
crumb of comfort is derivable from the fact that
in the States that usually produce the largest
crops of winter wheat like Michigan, California,
Oregon, Illinois and Missouri, the average prom
ises to be good.

General Simon Cameron has enjoyed very much
the visit he had been making his son, Senator
James Donald Cameron. General Cameron likes
Washington. He finds more of his old friends
here than in almost any other place, and while
they grow fewer every year the city itself grows
more attractive. He likes the Senator's old-fash-
Toned house on Lafayette Square, which, by the
way, is to my mind one of the most homelike houses
in Washington. The General is as young and as
bright as ever. He entertained President Cleve-
land when he called on him with his son the other
day quite much President Cleveland did
him. General Cameron and his son like the Pres
ident, and the President likes them. They all
have like strong sturdy, honest qualities, which
give them quick sympathies. George Bancroft,
William W. Corooran and General Cameron make
an interesting group of vigorous octogenarians,
and of the three General Cameron is certainly the
brightest in mind and the youngest in spirit.

Annual Sunf1owers.
Nck's Mannzine

Seedmen state that of late years there has been
an unwonted demand for seeds of sunflowers. It
is a fact that blaze of sunAowers gives consul
cuous dashes of color to gardens. Some one has
styled the sunhower "the king of the flower gar
den" and there is kind of regal aspect about it.
1t is common to see flowers more than foot across
and the dark centres stand out conspicuously when
margined with their broad zones of yellow golden
petals. There are dwarf and tall forms of the sin
gle, and also of the double varieties. The last
named, when of fine double character, are very
imposing subjects but the current taste certain
ly runs in the direction of the single in preference
to the double varieties. Wherever planted they
should have good soil. and while there is much
in the quality of the variety, it is also certain that
good soil has great deal to do with the produc-
ton of fine flowers.

Atlanta Constitution.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says: "If man
points an 'unloaded' gun at you, knock him down
Immediately" This is excellent advice, and we
trust it will be universally followed. In Georgia,
and in several other States it is misdemeanor to
point deadly weapon at person. Such should
be the law everywhere. But every man should be
law unto himself in this matter. 1t is perfectly
right to resent such practical jokes as are played
with firearms, whether they be loaded or unloaded.
These silly tricks do not always end fatally, but
they constitute ample provocation for square
knock down. When you find yourself face to face
with man who insists on "playing with you" in
this manner, don't stop to argue with him. Knock
